With very little sleep and running on pure adrenaline (instead of real food), I'm proud to say that Miss Universe China Charity Gala was a success! Although it was mostly stressful and exhausting (where would the excitement be without the drama, right?), the backstage team really ROCKED IT!!!

Thanks again for the great teamwork and big congrats to Jin Ye, our new Miss Universe China!

It's been a while since I last did a DIY. This morning, I was inspired to do a quick one: convert a old sweatshirt into a modern short sleeve one that is more weather appropriate for an instant wardrobe update!

New and must try from YSL's Top Secrets line: BB Cream Skintone Corrector. At this point, I guess I don't need to elaborate on the benefits of a bb cream. I should just mention that I love with the texture, coverage and glow it provides...just not the price...I guess I've just been spoiled with the access of great selection of Asian brands bb cream at pharmacy price!

If you don't mind forking out top dollars, this is definitely one to try!

Miuccia Prada has always been known for her influential and leading design unparalleled to others, especially with accessories. This season, she has set off another few key trends, including pop art giant faces (on virtually everything from dresses to handbags) and tromp l'oeil embellished bras on coats & sweaters. I love the idea how it's a step up from crop bra tops that we've seen in recent seasons without the unnecessary midriff exposure (for those of us who do not want/cannot afford to)!

As for her accessories, I'm really liking the sporty take with leg warmers (especially the embellished ones) mixed in! Something tells me that those are gonna be one of the top DIYs and high street (all the Zaras and H&Ms of this world) inspiration.

Sorry that I haven't been posting more regularly but a few weeks ago, I took on a styling project for the Miss Universe China and now with a week left before the night of, it has been impossible to even have lunch!

Don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying every moment of "playing dress up" with sponsored outfits on these 6 feet tall China dolls (not kidding...two of them are 1.83cm!!!). And all this for various events, including Vogue's Fashion Night Out Shanghai, and promotional shootings for the pageant itself on Sept 28th! So here are some backstage photos taken with my iPhone...apologies for the low quality pictures but hope you guys can get a glimpse of the excitement!
